Hello again Starlings, it's that time of the week again! 

This week in maths we have been busy working hard on our counting skills, including subitising (which means looking at a group of objects and identifying how many there are without having to count them). 

We have done lots more work on part, part, whole and have used something called a "cherry diagram" to help us to partition a number. 

Next week the children will be applying their learning of partitioning and subitising to find the missing parts of numbers to up to 5.

In writing this week we learned about the famous athlete Wilma Rudolph and wrote sentences about her. We also looked at speech bubbles as a way to help us to role play and think about what the characters in our story ‘Look Up’ may be saying to each other.

Next week we will finish our unit of work on ‘Look Up’ by sequencing the story and thinking about what happened at the Beginning, Middle and End, before planning and writing our own versions of the story.

To help, if you get the chance to ‘look up’ at the night sky over the weekend and talk about all the things you see in the night sky, this will help your writing.

In RWI phonics this week:

Pink group have read the book ‘In the sun’ and learned the sounds i_e, o_e and u_e

Yellow group have read the book ‘Tom Thumb’ and learned the sounds o_e, u_e and aw

Gold group have been continuing with their daily ditties and have been working hard on improving fluency when fred talking to blend sounds in words.

Silver group have continued to use sound blending book 1 and have been practising ‘Fred in our head’

Red group have learned the sounds sh, qu, nk, ng and x this week and are now reading the book ‘Jam’ in phonics lessons.

In topic we were so excited to learn about fossils as part of our work in history, and we can’t wait to do more exploring of fossils next week.  

In worship we have been looking at the core value of thankfulness and sharing all the things we are thankful for.

Have a lovely weekend and we will look forward to sharing more of our learning with you next week.

Mrs. Judge, Mrs. O’Marah, Mrs. Esling and Mrs. Southern
